Sleeve Notes - Vogue NEC PLUS ULTRA LP 502008 Keeping with the tradition of earlier productions, the "Nec Plus Ultra" series, devoted to hitherto unreleased recordings of exceptional character, is happy to present for the 30th anniversary of the death of Django Reinhardt this hitherto unpublished album recorded in February 1951 at the Club St Germain in Paris. We owe this document to Marlow Productions, of Hickville, USA, which is releasing it simultaneously in the United States. To situate this event historically, Reinhardt's engagement at the Club St-Germain marked his return to public performance after a silence of about a year which he devoted to painting. It was also at the Club that an exhibition of his works was held - and there is a reference to this in the recording when Reinhardt jokingly answers a journalist's question about it. Musically, Reinhardt's gambit here was to play for the first time with young New Wave musicians such as Hubert Fol and Maurice Vander. This cabaret recording, made in public, suffers from some background noise and the sound does not capture throughout the full musical colour of the instruments. But it is a historical document, and it would be nice if others could be discovered more often.
